Coastal Leaders Push for Inclusive Representation at JKP Breakfast Meeting
MOMBASA, Kenya – A breakfast meeting convened with coastal governors and stakeholders has highlighted calls for greater inclusion of inland counties within Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani (JKP) frameworks. Taita Taveta Governor raised concerns over the county's exclusion from key documents due to its lack of direct ocean access, emphasizing that as a member of the coastal bloc, Taita Taveta must be fully integrated into all initiatives. Feedback from governors and participants will now be incorporated into the final document, which is set to be launched during the Ocean Conference from 16th–18th June 2026.
